I hang it to dry, and I use some of it fresh, too. I think basil and cilantro are my favorite spices for food. You're making me hungry. ;-)Beth at PlantPostingshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10473637655960119672noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2884216770926932676.post-79052876366032109112021-04-22T14:57:41.840-04:002021-04-22T14:57:41.840-04:00I love basil and usually end up direct sowing seed...I love basil and usually end up direct sowing seeds or, in a pinch, buying a small plant. I also find self-seeded plants on occasion, which has me thinking that I should throw some seed into the mulch-covered area under my Magnolia tree just to see what happens.Kris Petersonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07097260283693156795noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2884216770926932676.post-84955466399961716242021-04-22T12:03:36.712-04:002021-04-22T12:03:36.712-04:00We may experiment and try different sowing methods...We may experiment and try different sowing methods, but Mother Nature definitely knows best.

Also I find that basil in hot afternoon sun tends to get completely fried and in our garden it actually does better in light or part shade.Jasonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00671760671850555664noreply@blogger.com
